Chan Hero Calls Lamb
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
In a blind versus blind battle, Ben Lamb bet 4,000 on a flop of 5♥9♣5♠ and Johnny Chan called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 5♦ turn and the A♠ fell on the river. Lamb then bet 12,000.
Chan tanked for around 30 seconds before calling. Lamb then showed Q♣3♣ for a bluff, and Chan turned over K♠10♦ to win the pot with king-high.
"Johnny, that's a hell of a call," a tablemate said as the Poker Hall of Famer and two-time Main Event champion took the pot.
Frank Funaro and Tristan Wade are also at this table with above-average stacks.
